Answer:

The settings of the story takes place at the Ethel River.

Explanation:

'In the Jaws Of the Aligator' is a short story written by P.C Arnoult.The story is about a tug-of-war between an alligator, antagonist, and the protagonist, Ume, over the body of protagonist's wife, Taita.

The setting of the story is a time and place or location of when and where the story took place. A setting may include geographical location, weather, time, social or cultural environment, etc.

In the story 'In the Jaws of the Alligator', story's setting is the 'Ethel River.' The story took place at the Ethel River, where protagonist along with his wife, Taita and an eight-year-old son went to collect mussel-shells, an ingredient that helps to make lime. It is at this setting, the protagonist had a tug-a-war with the alligator, the place where the alligator caught hold of his wife, and the place where she died. Another element of this settiing is that the place have the possibility of having alligators. That's the reason Ume and his son were keeping watch over alligators.

“A Whole New World” From Disney’s Aladdin
omeli [17]

Answer:

Answers with explanation given below.

Explanation:

1. An extended metaphor is basically a single metaphor that is stretched throughout the whole work. Here, the extended metaphor is that Aladdin is opening a new world to Jasmine.

It is a metaphor because he isn’t actually showing her a new world, but <u>her life has changed dramatically and he compares that to being shown a wholly different world. This he does throughout the song,</u> both of them talking about how the world is so different or new now. “No one to tell us, "No", Or where to go” and “With new horizons to pursue” give us a sense of different rules in this new world and a change of scene.

2. “I can open your eyes

Take you wonder by wonder

Over, sideways and under

On a magic carpet ride”

There are two parts to this. There is a tactile (touch/feel) imagery involved when he says to open your eyes, and there is the part about the motion that comes with riding on the magic carpet, which is kinesthetic (motion based).

If you haven’t learned these imagery types in school yet, you could just say these are visual (along with opening your eyes) and (seeing a magic carpet that flies through the sky).

“Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling

Through an endless diamond sky”

This gives the listeners and readers a sense of falling through the sky, which is exactly what the lyrics say. This is further established by the earlier lines talking about the magic carpet that takes you on a ride in the sky.

3. This song is not an example of a monologue. A<u> monologue is a long speech by one actor in a play or movie,</u> and this could’ve been one, except, <u>Aladdin isn’t the only one who contributes to the lyrics</u>. Jasmine puts in a few verses of her own throughout the song.

4. In the line, “I'm <u>like</u> a shooting star, I've come so far”, Jasmine compares herself to a shooting star using simile because she too has come so far so fast across the sky.

5. <u>Alliteration</u>: “<u>Sh</u>ining, <u>sh</u>immering, splendid”

“It's <u>c</u>rystal <u>c</u>lear”.
